Strike Suit Infinity

Runs horrible on my PC.

It worked better on my 15yo laptop than my gaming PC, lol. 40 FPS and often stutters when a lot of ♥♥♥♥ flying to you.

Holy mother of tactical space mayhem, Strike Suit Infinity looked at Strike Suit Zero and basically screamed, "Move over, cupcake. I'm about to inject pure adrenaline directly into your eyeballs." This game takes the absolute BEST part of Zero—the combat—and cranks that glorious &#$%! to eleven. No unnecessary padding, no boring downtime, just relentless, score-chasing space carnage that'll have you muttering, "One more run..." until the Sun files for overtime. The combat is so ridiculously satisfying that every enemy capital ship feels like it personally insulted your mother. You don't destroy them...You ERASE them. You turn them into expensive, high-resolution space confetti while your Strike Suit zips around like a caffeinated homicidal hummingbird armed with enough missiles to violate several intergalactic treaties. And can we talk about the visuals? Sweet Merciful Hailey's comet... The sheer beauty of space is enough to make you stop and admire the stars—...for approximately 0.7 seconds, before another gigantic battlecruiser shows up begging to get the ever-living &#$%! blasted out of it. Every explosion is eye candy. Every dogfight is pure dopamine. Every new high score feels like you've personally slapped Isaac Newton across the face with a plasma cannon. The arcade gameplay loop is more addictive than free pizza in a game developer's office. You tell yourself, "Just one more attempt." Three hours later you're still chasing that perfect run while your chair has permanently fused with your spine. This isn't trying to be a realistic space simulator. It knows exactly what it is: A gloriously over-the-top arcade combat masterpiece that grabs your brain by the collar, screams "LOCK ON, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!", and refuses to let go. Strike Suit Infinity is visual spectacle, arcade perfection, and space combat dopamine distilled into one glorious package. Now excuse me while I go commit several completely justified war crimes against another fleet of oversized space refrigerators.

great game that runs terribly on new hardware ran great on my old gt 1030, locked at 40fps on my 4070 couldnt find a solution

An arcade space ship shooter with a small mech-type component to it. Depending on which of the three platforms you choose from it can range in its level of difficulty. The controls are tight enough with the keyboard and mouse, but the gameplay can get repetitive as you continually progress through the levels with the latter levels really supplying bullet-sponge enemies at times. The main objective, beyond beating each of the levels is to score the highest score in each level to earn increasing letter grades. Enemies come at you in waves, with the waves getting slightly more difficult with each new wave that comes through. Capital ships usually show up in the end waves, but as you progress through the levels they become more common earlier on. Destroying the capital ships nets you credits, so it can be helpful to destroy them as quickly as possible. The capital ships are filled with turrets and weak points that can be targeted for destruction. Depending on which of the three ships you pick it can range from easy to difficult to destroy the turrets in a timely fashion. Weak points can also be a bit odd in their hit boxes at times, which can cause a bit of frustration as you work against the clock. There are bonus rounds, but the capital ships appearing during these sections are rare, but can net you some additional credits. Using the credits you can purchase reinforcements to help you out on a level by level basis. If they survive the level you get your credits back so you can hire the same ships again the next level. While they can be useful in the earlier levels, they begin to lose their effectiveness once you get to the "Elite" enemies. You can always upgrade their effectiveness, but even at the highest levels they're still mostly just cannon fodder, that can be used to distract from you being the sole target. Each ship can transform into it's "mech" version as you fill the "Flux" bar. Each shot of your weapons (gun or missles) will drain this bar slightly, once it's empty you auto-switch back to your standard space ship mode. There's two perspectives you can fly in as well, cockpit view or a 3rd person camera directly behind the ship. So you can enjoy it either mode, without any real changes to the gameplay. I enjoyed the game, as you can tell by the 100% achievement mark I've gotten in it. The arcade-y ness of it can help you get a bit of extra enjoyment from it if you like trying for additional points to beat your previous runs. For me, once I beat the game, I've only really come back to it a few times but I remember those times being fun regardless. For around $7 (US) it's a decent enough game if you like space ship shooters.

Horrible FPS and stuttering.

That minelayer level? Worst content I have ever seen in a game, unhit-able, constantly following you and one shot-ing? AND making a RTX4070 lag???? Brother, Dark Souls is easier than this

runs like ♥♥♥♥ on modern hardware, if you're interested in the strike suit game(s) probably just buy the directors cut

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tight
